Nicely seen, Nico. An excellent interpretation of the topic, IMHO. -Michael

Thanks, Shu! :-) I think your question is most relevant... and probably something over which many a long discussion can ensue. :-) Regards ~jnconradie

Hi [aam1234], I do not think I have photographed this person before.

I met this homeless man whilst on a photoshoot in the "Bokaap" area of Cape Town, started chatting and he was delighted to have his picture taken. The cardboard boxes lying on the stone steps is basically his bed. He explained that he sleeps in a shelter nearby when it is winter... extreme simplicity in terms of life-style.

This gentleman looks familiar, did you post any pics of his before. Really like the composition, and good choice of B&W [aam1234]
